For Mediterranean food with a party vibe in Adelaide’s East End, Yiasou George ticks plenty of boxes. The Yiasou George menu is heavy on meze and Greek dishes.

Yiasou George is one of the most enjoyable restaurants in Adelaide’s East End. It goes for a fun vibe rather than stuffed-shirt seriousness, and is also an ouzo bar. It’s really well suited to larger groups on the long tables – especially when the ouzo shots come out.

Yiasou George menu

Meze is a major feature of the Yiasou George menu, and it certainly sticks more to the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Greek cuisine predominates, with the odd addition from the Levant. Dishes include barbecued pickled octopus, wood-fired blue swimmer crab dolmades and mushroom kritharaki.

Larger dishes on offer include lamb shoulder with seasonal greens and yoghurts, plus wood-fired eggplant with burnt spring onion feta.

There are plenty of vegan dishes to choose from, too. The roasted stuffed cabbage filled with rice, pine nuts and tomatoes is the star attraction on this front.
